Your logic is flawed. If tomorrow the US said, oh well, we're broke, we can't buy anything else from you, that's the end of China's economics. As much as the rest of the world buys from them, their margins are so low that cutting 1/2 their production would mean wholesale shuttering of their...

You are mistaken. Right now, China knows that their growth is tied to the US's. That may change in the future, but today is not the future. They know we're inflating our way out of debt, and all they can do is watch. No one with common sense can see a better option for anyone involved...

BuyLo - I said it had 60% of the market. Because I haven't really looked, of that 60%, how much of it is domestic and how much International? China importing coal doesn't mean it's importing it from the US, or using equipment made by JOYG, or that coal mining is an expanding industry... how...

Well, I took a quick look, and it seems this is moving more from Barron's pumping it than anything else... It missed analyst's estimates by $.09 last quarter, coming in at $.51 rather than the expected $.60. This isn't that bad, given how terrible coal has been doing, and it's still above...

What a mean thing to say :mad: . Of course, I don't have as much money as Warren Buffett ... yet... :mad: ... so maybe I don't have much money hrm.

In case you can't see S&P's direct reports, here's what they have to say about BOOM (hard to get better than this): CORPORATE OVERVIEW. BOOM's primary products are explosion-welded clad plates. Explosion weldcladding uses an explosive charge to bond together plates of different metals that...

That's a very deceptive question, so you may want to rephrase the question. If you are talking about Best PERFORMING industry sectors, over the last 52 weeks, the top 5 in top down (last column is performance vs S&P 500, middle column is relative sector strength): Tires & Rubber $6.4B...

Ahh... I just saw the actual report... net income DID fall. But that's because they had a special 'Income from Discontinued Operations' in the LAST quarter that artificially boosted their net for that quarter only. Their gross revenue DID go up by nearly 30%. More impressively, their CASH is...

LOL! I like that quote:). While I agree that TA can be helpful, it is worthless alone. What most TA only people forget is... the 'chart' they are examining is BASED on the real behavior of people who do not all care about charts. Reminds me of predicting the future by examining chicken...

I agree AMZN should be $45. That's my short target, which is definitely getting away from me now... sigh. Good thing it's puts, or I'd be really upset today. HOWEVER... if it doesn't fall, you are looking at irrational exuberance and perhaps the ernest beginning of tech rally 2007. In...

If TA were that dead on, you'd never be wrong.... tell me, what % up are you for the year, you TA buffs? Bet I beat you. :D

Well Stoney... I'm UP afterhours already (I bought in close to $34). It wasn't down $1, it was down almost $4... the market close was OVER $37, the afterhours low was $33 something. One reason I hopped in AH was because the first report I read was the 'beat by 30%"... and then I looked at the...

They get filled the same... you are talking about market orders? If you can help it, never place a market order unless you think it's moving that fast (in which case, you'd better know what you're doing too... especially during an IPO).

bsparky... the earnings came out after hours... and there are conflicting reports! Argh.

STONEY!!!! I hope you're around, or anyone else in this thing... I have never seen anything like this before. Here's the background: I decided to buy your recommendation, just for fun, since I ignored your last 5:P. BOOM looked like a solid stock, fundamentals were good, earnings unreal...

Well, it's a given that it's stupid to blindly follow anyone into a trade without looking into it yourself. But I think it's helpful to see other people's ideas, because they may bring into a picture stocks or sectors you hadn't considered. Yah, what stock did you get burned on? And I hope...

Nice little pop coming. May want to take a look:).

Stone, the problem was that it had already moved... chasing momo can get expensive. But in this case, you were right.

You know, I don't know what got into me last nite with all the Amazon posting, lol. Not only doesn't it count, because I like them says nothing about how well they run their business, nor how profitable they are. A company may be fantastic because they give away the store and cannot turn a...

Tom, all the more reason to make more as you can. I have not read the book, so am only qualified to discuss your response. Basically, the term 'bankruptcy' means very little when talking about a nation... who's going to 'collect'? Will the US government default on the bonds, the loans, the...
